                                              My second time here this year. This is a true neighborhood gem. It has a real French vibe with French staff. Food is delicious. I’m obsessed with the trout.

                                              I glad it’s still around! Very good classic French Bistro with a below average noise legal.

                                              If you want a French restaurant with good food, but an atmosphere that gives you anxiety, I invite you to dine here. We were served our appetizers before we even received our drinks from the bar and we felt extremely rushed during the entire dinner. The chairs couldn’t be more uncomfortable and you’re cramped in there worse than sitting in a middle seat in coach on a transatlantic flight. It was so loud you can’t hear the person you’re with speak and it was just an enjoyable evening. However, the food was good, but the atmosphere tainted the experience.

                                              Amazing dinner! I will return to NYC just to have dinner there again. Superb food and service. Simply delightful and real. Very small and special- had a lovely time speaking with our fellow diners and getting their choices for next time we visit. If you want excellent, flavorful food that delights- go here. If you like pretentious - then maybe not… it will leave room for those of us who appreciate this wonderful French food experience.

                                              Le Parisien is my favorite neighborhood restaurant - the food is consistently delicious, it is cozy and charming.
